Good Night (stand) and Good Luck. June 9, 2010 DIY, Thrift Store Finds 5 Comments 4013 As the bedroom makeover continues, I was looking for new nightstands for us. Currently we only have one, and it’s one of those particle board beauties that I painted a few years back. After staining my dresser, I wanted to have real wood nightstands that I could stain to match. Imagine my shock and awe when this handmade treasure-in-hiding popped up on Craigslist for……………wait for it………..$10! I love the shape of it, as well as the fact that it’s the right height for our raised bed. Aside from the cracking finish, it was in otherwise perfect shape. I was planning on sanding and staining it anyway, so I considered myself lucky that some of the work was done for me 🙂 I followed the same procedure as the dresser I stained because they are going in the same room. Of course I removed the doors and hinges and stained them separately. Here is a peek at the (mostly) finished product. Try to imagine it in front of a neutral colored wall! When I decide on new hardware for the dressers, I will replace the brass hardware on the nightstand. ****Linked Up**** 5 Responses LaVoice September 2, 2010 What an amazing job you did on this night stand.
